Solaris stand-alone: Assign custom tablespaces for DB2 on z/OS

The repository of WebSphere Portal consists of many tables and indices that are created in default table spaces. When using an existing set of table spaces for the objects of the repository, specify this when executing the database transfer to the target database system.

Before you begin:


Prerequisites


Install DB2 for z/OS
Modify properties for DB2 for z/OS
Create users for DB2 for z/OS
Create a remote database on DB2 for z/OS
Grant privileges to DB2 for z/OS users
Create the Java content repository database on DB2 for z/OS

If custom table spaces are assigned, each must be assigned explicitly. The default table spaces can be used to contain database objects; however the name of the default table space must be specified in the corresponding mapping files. This applies to all database domains that are transferred in a single database transfer.

To configure custom table space assignments:

  1. Determine the names of custom table spaces.

  2. Open the mapping file WP_PROFILE /PortalServer/config/tablespaces/dbdomain.space_mapping.properties that specifies the table space and index space property pairs for each database table:

      dbdomain.table_name.tablespace

      dbdomain.table_name.index_name.indexspace

      For the file name and each table space and index space property pair, dbdomain can be any one of the following values:

      • release
      • community
      • customization
      • jcr
      • feedback
      • likeminds

  3. Assign a table space to each .tablespace entry in the mapping file. Assignments to .indexspace entries are ignored. The table space name must be qualified by the database name and prepended by the keyword IN and a space. For example: community.COMP_INST.tablespace=IN COMM8KSPACE

      Repeat this step for each domain that you are transferring.

  4. Save and close dbdomain.space_mapping.properties.

  5. From a command prompt, specify the option -DuseCustomTablespaceMapping=true when starting the database transfer.

      For example,

        Windows™: ConfigEngine.bat database-transfer -DuseCustomTablespaceMapping=true

        UNIX™: ./ConfigEngine.sh database-transfer -DuseCustomTablespaceMapping=true

        i: ConfigEngine.sh database-transfer -DuseCustomTablespaceMapping=true
